Bride Pretends to Be an Orphan to Exclude Her Poor Dirty Mom from Her Luxury Wedding — Story of the Day
A bride pretended to be orphaned in order to keep her mother out of her wedding. But in the end, she came to regret her actions as life taught her a vital lesson.
Jill, an only child, was only four years old when her father abandoned their family. Her mother, Ann, has since raised her singlehandedly, working on a small farm during the week and part-time jobs on weekends to make ends meet. But when little Jill became a teenager, she began to look down on her mother.
“Mom!” she cried as they were about to leave for her annual school function. “Don’t you have anything else to wear? If you wear that, my friends will mock me. It looks old.”

“But honey, this gown is only a year old! It’s also one of my favorites,” Ann explained. However, Jill was adamant about her mother’s attire. “Mom, you’ve worn it so many times! Please change it right away. I don’t want to be embarrassed in front of everyone,” she said.
Ann’s eyes welled up at the sight of her 13-year-old daughter mocking her like that, but she didn’t say anything because she thought Jill was still a child and didn’t mean it. She went inside, changed into another dress, and then went to Jill’s school.

However, as years passed, Jill’s mindset remained the same. When Jill turned 18, she moved from Brownsville to Houston, partly for studies and partly to get rid of her poor mother. After moving, she rarely called Ann and lessened communication.
During her time at the university, she met a wealthy man named Bobby. He proposed to her within a month, and she was overjoyed. She had always wanted to be rich, and her dream was now just a step away.
Jill never told Bobby anything about her family; in fact, she lied by telling him she was orphaned at a young age and raised in foster care. As a result, when she was preparing the wedding guest list, excluding her poor, dirty mother was an easy task.
